[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 263473, member: 1991"] I'd be concerned about where this has come form. From what you're saying, it seems there's a pattern at this school of otherstaff being used to pass on principal's messages. You already know the SpEd has done it, now the nurse says she's passing it on from SpEd but it could easily be from principal originally. Chinese whispers is a dangerous game, when it involves gossip and our childrens' welfare. If this principal uses these techniques then he sounds like a bully and a coward. me - I'd be down at the school first NICELY talking to SpEd and asking where the concerns come form, and reiterating what you told the nurse - if the SpEd personally observes any related issues, to please notify you DIRECTLY so you can get onto the problem as fast as possible (OK, "fast as possible" is the public reason - the private reason is, you want it form as close to the horse's mouth as possible). And at the first opportunity, challenge the principal directly on this. Call him on it, as soon as someone says, "the principal expressed concerns to me." Then you will have the golden opportuity to make it clear - if he has concerns, he must call YOU personally, directly. Because in the time it takes him to go find the SpEd, or go find the nurse - he could pick up the phone and call you, or write you a short note. Again, use the line that you need immediacy on this. I really am concerned about the line that was used, that this could make difficult child a target for other kids, because he smells. It's not difficult child that stinks, in this... Marg [/QUOTE]
